Paper Dream song
From the play Saturday’s Warrior, Paper Dream is my absolute favorite. When I first heard it many years ago, I was floored by it. It went right into the middle of my heart and it’s never left. It has a lot of meaning for me. …
The Ultimate Sin, 1986 Album by Ozzy Osbourne

Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine
Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine is one of the few Christmas songs that makes me want to cry every time I hear it because of how it talks about a poor boy that has run away. This song is about a boy who’s dad is in jail and …
Scars On Broadway - 3005 (Song)

The Rolling Stones - Moon Is Up (Song)
Moon Is Up is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Voodoo Lounge. This song starts off with a guitar and bass part which has an interesting rhythm but is somewhat difficult to describe without a person actually listening to this track. Jagger soon comes …
Run (Snow Patrol)
Run by Snow Patrol is an emotionaly lifting piece as it starts in a minor tone(sad) and gets major(happy) and repeats the phrase “Light up Light up”.
The guitar in the piece gets tedious as it seems to keep playing the same note over and over again from the middle …
Pink Floyd - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (Song)

kidneythieves - trickstereprocess CD
I first heard this band while my husband was playing a video game, of all things. They provided the soundtrack to several dance club scenes. Dark, sci-fi dance club scenes, that is. I then realized that they had a song on the Queen of the Damned …
Scars On Broadway - Serious (Song)
Serious is the opening song of Scars On Broadway’s self-titled debut record. As this being the first record, some fans were not sure what to expect from Daron Malakian, whether he’d go with the sound that he had in System Of A Down or whether he’d go in a …
Don’t Forget to Remember Me by Carrie Underwood (Song)
If you have ever had to pack up and leave the only home you have ever known, then you know just what this song is about. You know how it feels to walk away from your loved ones, to say goodbye to the people that have been there all …
Godspeed You Black Emperor
Together with Mogwai back in the early 1990s, Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the team of musicians that made post-rock into a musical genre of its own, taking a bit of influence from a bands like Slint and Savage Republic. They have never declared themselves as a “band” by …
Slash-(I Hold On) song
A song that I really like off the new Slash album released a year ago is the track I hold on. This song features vocals by Kid Rock and of course the guitar arrangements were written and played by Slash. This song starts by fading in and getting …
The Flaming Lips - The Ceiling Is Bendin’ (Song)
The Ceiling Is Bendin’ is a song by the Flaming Lips and the sixth song on their album Oh My Gawd. Opening up with a drum and bass part which fades in and out repeatedly, Coyne comes in with the vocals of the track which thankfully has some character …
The Flaming Lips - Telepathic Surgery (Album)
Telepathic Surgery is the third release by the Flaming Lips which follows their previous record, Oh My Gawd. On this record, I thought that the band continued to develop their songwriting and there are also some traces of the sound that they would go on to really hone and …
“Stiff-upper lip” AC/DC music album
Perhaps the most common opinion, which circulates around the world about the AC / DC, says that the band has not changed since at least the death of the first singer Bon Scott. Considering that this death occurred twenty years ago, and that since that time the team …
Coldplay (alternative rock band)
A couple of years ago Coldplay was possibly one of the most popular alternative rock bands around the world, but even then I didn’t really like them because I was into much more hardcore music at the time. It took me a couple more years and the decline in …

Sway by Pussycat Dolls

Deftones (band)
One of my all time favourite bands is a band called the Deftones. I was listening to them ever since I was in my latter part of high school and even now that I am almost twenty two, I still have not fallen out of love with their music.

Slayer - Born Of Fire (Song)

Metallica - My Apocalypse (Song)
My Apocalypse, the final song on Death Magnetic, should certainly remind listeners of Metallica used to close their records with songs like Damage, Inc. and Dyers Eve, or at least that’s what this song certainly does for me. For those of you who have heard the two aforementioned songs …
Pussycat Dolls - Don’t cha
‘Don’t cha is the first single from Pussycat Dolls’s first album. I really like this song because it’s so energic and can make me cheer up.

Sepultura Against
This 1998 album is the 7th album by Sepultura and the first to feature vocalist Derrick Green who replaced Max Cavalera. Green does a fine job, maybe even better than Max, this album is better than anything Max Cavalera’s side project Soulfly has ever done. This album uses Japanese …
The Divine Comedy : Bang Goes the Knighthood
This album is the latest in Neil Hannon’s belt, and a release I have looked forward to for a long time. The cd features sixteen brand new tracks composed and preformed in part by Hannon himself as in most of his other music.

Circle of Our Love song
Saturday’s Warrior, just an inspiration play that is beyond words, has many memorable songs from it, all from the hands of lyricist Doug Stewart and Lex De Azevedo, who did the music while also serving as the play’s producer. My third favorite song from this play is a …
Vampire Weekend : Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend, a new, up-and-coming Indie-Rock band has swept the nation with its “soft-rock.” Its latest album titled Mansard Roof is, in my opinion, excellent. Certain songs, (Campus, Walcott) are slightly repetitive, but offer great sound. All songs were recorded in very high quality. The band offers high-quality, good …

Song Whitehorse by singer Taylor Swift
My favorite Taylor Swift song is Whitehorse. It says a lot that women need to pay more attention to. In the video, her guys cheats on her and then decides he wants her back. She has a hard time with it but ultimately says she has to move on. …
Cracker - Low (Song)
“Low” is the number 1 single by the band Cracker. I’m actually kind of surprised that nobody has written a review for such a memorable and catchy song already. “Low” single handedly brought recognition for the band Cracker and significantly boosted their record sales for their 1993 album “Kerosene …

CD KISS HOTTER THAN HELL
HOTTER THAN HELL
Kiss seemed to believe they would capture the public’s imagination with this second LP but it didn’t work out that way despite its high quality.
Better than some have suggested.

Memory of A Longing Love by Spoon
Memory of A Longing Love or also what it is called as ‘Memori Sekuntum Rindu’ is very poignant, sweeping and sad. I have teared a few times whilst listening to this song, sung by the band Spoon.
Unfortunately, the lead singer of this band Spoon had been killed …
Green Day - Homecoming (Song)
Homecoming, the second musical epic of this album along with Jesus Of Suburbia, is honestly just as good as Jesus Of Suburbia in my opinion. I praise both of these tracks heavily, not so much because the parts themselves are brilliant but because the whole song is very well …
The Beatles - Carry That Weight (Song)
Carry That Weight is one of the very last tracks on Abbey Road and although it is only 1:36 in track length, I feel like it offers quite a lot of music for that short amount of running space. I make a point to stress the time and length …
Megadeth - Almost Honest (Music Video)
Overview —“ Almost Honest, another music video and single released by Megadeth for their album Cryptic Writings is a song that seems to actually really remind me of Trust. I’ve read a bit on similarities between the two, but I have to say that I actually do agree and …
